Axe the Coldstreams!
Why is anyone suprised at the Coldstreams being axed?
In Iraq the Black Watch were tasked to leave Basra, Travel to Bagdad, carry out tasks the Yanks couldn't do. This resulted in heavy loss of life.
What was their reward?
As soon as they returned to U.K. they were effectively disbanded, after 125 years, only remembered now as 3rd battalion of The Royal Regiment of Scotland.
Nothing is sacred when the government is in a saving mood.
Next we will see all special forces cut out,
We don't need them after all, the T.A. will do the job cheaper.
Regards,
Eddie
